Hi, thanks for speaking. Have to get my wife's affairs in order. 9 days out since my Edith passed, not as bad as the first day.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my wife of 21 years on February 19 of this year. I know how hard those first few weeks are while everything is so fresh. Getting all of my wife's things in order and settled really nails you with the finality of it all.

I'm sure that we are feeling and experiencing some of the same things, so if you ever want to chat please send me a message. Just being able to talk with someone that really means it when they say "I know how you feel" helps. I don't know why it bothers me so much when friends and family say that. I know that they mean well, but they don't really know how we feel without really experiencing the loss.

My Staci was my world, The glue that held all the broken pieces of me together. I don't know who I am without her here, but we must press forward even though we don't want to right now. Finding people that really understand is one of those baby steps forward.

Peace and comfort to you.

Would be great to have someone to talk to from time to time. I feel like my Edith is with me, trying to get her funeral arranged. She'd been in medical treatment for about 5 months, economics are not good. I'd been taking care of her for last 6 years as she was bedridden. Income cut a lot so looking for work. She passed a month ago, most days are about the same, times I feel like when she was dying. I understand people not being talkative about this. So, anytime you feel like chatting.
